Business Practices
But EarthHero® is so much more than certifications. It’s a company actively trying to ally with minorities and people of color.
You don’t often see Land Acknowledgements, but EarthHero® has one respecting the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), and Očeti Šakówiŋ (Sioux) peoples. (2)
They also support racial and climate justice. And affirms the connection between the two.

The Takeaway Message
Some online shopping marketplaces are a mess to navigate.
Shifting through reviews, vetting counterfeits, scrutinizing company practices, label reading…it can take time. More than I want to give up.
EarthHero®, an ethical online shop, does the work for us.
Just type whatever you’re looking for in the search bar.
Chances are EarthHero® has a sustainable, ethical, and chemical-free option.
Or shop by values like:
Even more cool? When you buy ethical products through EarthHero®, your purchase has a higher impact.
That’s because they do more than curate sustainable & ethical brands for simple shopping. They empower communities and the planet.
As both a Certified B Corporation®, and a 1% for the Planet® member, EarthHero® donates to environmental and racial justice nonprofits. (1, 3)
Within a single website, I can support all the Positive-Impact Brands I Love, discover new ones, and have their products shipped in a carbon-neutral box. Added Bonus? I’m supporting a second ethical business simultaneously.
That’s maximizing positive impacts, while minimizing negative ones. Affordably.
That’s How i Healthy!
